A handcrafted game about fishing with guns, chainsaws & toasters. Follow Billy as he tries to find redemption from his uncertain past. Chase your destiny on the high seas and embark on a heroic quest for glory and gills. * Hours of gameplay across the continents including a never-ending Infinite arcade world. * Dozens of unlockables, weapons and items including popular fishing gear like the Most Expensive Hairdryer In The World and A Bowling Ball. * Fish that become hats. * No IAP - buy the game, play the game. No additional costs, no hidden fees. Even the hats are IAP-free. * Fish that become hats. Based on Vlambeers popular 2010 original, Ridiculous Fishing was lovingly handcrafted over the course of two years by Vlambeer (Super Crate Box), Zach Gage (TypeShift, Spelltower, Bit Pilot, Unify) and Greg Wohlwend (Threes, Hundreds, Solipskier, Gasketball). Winner of the Apple Design Award 2013; Nominated for the 2011 Independent Games Festival Awards; Declared Most Important News Story 2011 by industry magazine Control International; Featured in The New York Times; "Ridiculous Fishing is such a complete package that it's an effortless recommendation." ~ Eli Hodapp (TouchArcade) - (5 / 5) "Every aspect of the game, from the rewarding upgrade system to the unique graphics, displays an intricate craftsmanship we rarely see on the App Store." ~ Chris Reed (Slide2Play) - (4 / 4) "Vlambeer's game is, as its title suggests, ridiculous. In its simple, gleeful rhythms of play, it's sublime, too." ~ EDGE - (9 / 10) "One of the most mechanically satisfying experiences you'll ever find, and wrapped in a dazzlingly cool aesthetic." ~ Eli Cymet (Gamezebo) - (5 / 5) "It makes the mass destruction of innocent sea life absolutely adorable." ~ Andrew Webster (The Verge) "I've come to think of Ridiculous Fishing as the unofficial game of Wes Anderson's movie The Life Aquatic." ~ Rob Hearn (PocketGamer) "Ridiculous Fishing is from an alternate iPhone gaming universe where Nintendo is the production quality standard and action is everything." ~ Robert Ashley (A Life Well Wasted) "A rare pearl amidst the endless sardines of iOS games." ~ Chris Bateman (International Hobo) "I'm hooked up to an IV and playing Ridiculous Fishing. One is medicine, the other is a painkiller." ~ Ben Kuchera (PA Report) "Ridiculous Fishing is something very special." ~ exp. Magazine}

Don’t buy anything from these devs they don’t fix their apps when they break.

They have abandoned this version! I paid for this a while ago. It was a great game. Such a shame. I feel robbed

This app has been abandoned, and renders incorrectly on modern iPhones. They have fixed these issues for the Apple Arcade version, but haven’t ported back these fixes for people who paid to support the original game.

So, let me start off by saying I absolutely love you guys and what you’ve been working on, the new game is great, but I really REALLY want the framing and cropping issues fixed on modern iPhones, please..it’s literally just my nostalgia monkey brain speaking but I really want to capture the same feeling again, at it would just make the game better probably, so please, hear my cries

Just paid $3 for this and tried playing it on my iPhone 13 mini and all the fish are extremely small, the waves on the top of the water don't reach across the screen, and the pause menu is like split. I used to love this game on my old phone! Frustrating.

I love this game. It’s really amazing, everything I could want in a mobile game. But it’s fallen by on the updates, something wasn’t compatible with newer iPhones and now it’s unplayable. It’s super zoomed out, very slow, and the UI is so small it’s barely visible. I don’t even need an update, re-release it and I’ll pay for it again! Decent phone games are hard to come by, it’d be a shame to see this fall away.
